Well, as of dmd 2.052, if you pass -m64 to dmd, it'll compile in 64-bit on 
Linux, but if you don't pass it -m64 (or if you explicitly pass it -m32), it 
will compile in 32-bit. And if it's compiling in 32-bit, then you need the 32-
bit versions of whatever libraries that you're using. pthread is one of them. 
So, if you don't have a 32-bit version of pthread installed, then that would 
explain it.
